Space System Engineering: Course Description
Students taking this free MIT OpenCourseWare examine the design of deep space telescopes. Students will need to compile specific data about the telescope they choose, including scientific justification, observation characteristics, primary collector structure, observation sensitivity and program support. Professor Edward Crawley and Professor Olivier de Weck then ask their students to expound on the details of a top-rated telescope facility. This assignment will include developing a budget and timeline for the project, elucidating the human role in the venture and outlining the telescope design and architecture. This course is presented in lecture format.
Lectures, study materials, suggested readings and assignments are available online for free for this course. If you would like to take advantage of this free course, visit the Space Systems Engineering course page.
